We started the Beatles in 1957 when John Lennon started the Quarrymen. Later that year his friend Ivan Vaughan introduced me. We began to cooperate on songwriting and a couple years later in 1958 George Harrison joined our band. In 1959 we changed our name to the Silver Beetles however we didn't have a drummer. George's friend Pete Best then joined the band. We then went to Hamburg, Germany because it was easier to hold performances there but we were told that we needed to have a 5th person in the band. They went back to Liverpool and got John's friend Stuart Sutcliffe to join. But Pete Best did not feel comfortable in the band so in 1962 the final person joined. Richard Starkey was the oldest member and he also had been in a few other bands before. The same year Sutcliffe died in Hamburg so Paul started playing the bass. Later we changed our name again to just Beatles.
Our first performace was at the Cavern Club in Liverpool! In October 1962 our first single Love Me Do came out and reached the top 20. Our second single, Please Please Me, was a big hit. That album went to number one on the charts and started Beatle mania in England. Our first album was Please Please Me and it was also big a hit. The USA wanted us to perform there too but we said that we would not go to America until we had a number one song there. After we got a number one in America we decided to perform there. After touring America including an appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show we went back to England to make our first movie called A Hard Day's Night. We made another movie with a soundtrack called Help! In late 1965 we played at Shea Stadium and had a record crowd of 55,000. We were touring the world and everyone loved our music and us. In late 1966 we played our last official concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. After not playing in concerts we had more time to focus on our albums. Next we started doing tours again, Magical Mystery Tour with songs such as I Am The Walrus. We then had the white album. We also did recording in Hamburg but the songs were not released until 1970 on the album Let It Be. Paul claimed that Specter (our album producer) ruined his song The Long And Winding Road with overdubs. Our last studio album came out before Let It Be was Abbey Road one of our best songs. George's songs were the best on this album with songs like Here Comes the Sun and Something. In April 1970 Paul announced that he was leaving our group. As a result of many of my band members leaving our band split up.

ReplyDeleteI never liked rock n' roll, and I especially never liked Beatles. You can only take so much of your parents playing the same damn Beatles records over and over again to the point where your ears are flooded with wax. Your band started off as a cover band for all the hits, but then decided to imitate your own pathetic version of rock n' roll. Not too long after, the band, under your direction, begin to be viewed as musical geniuses. You never put heart into anything you did. It was all a cultivated operation, therefore your music was manufactured. A product to sell to the mass public without putting in much effort. I applaud your trickery, fraud wanker.
